Switching Flight Historian to ICAO Regions

September 7, 2017August 22, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ 1 Comment

I used to manually keep track of which airports were within the contiguous United States in Flight Historian’s airport data, but I realized that I could determine airports’ regions by looking at their ICAO codes instead.

I’ve added to Flight Historian the ability to create flights by importing digital boarding passes from the Apple Wallet app.

Creating Multiple Flash Messages in Ruby on Rails

April 5, 2017August 24, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ 2 Comments

On my Flight Historian application, a number of my pages make use of the flash and flash.now session messages capability for errors, warnings, successes, and informational messages. However, some of those pages needed to have multiple messages of the same type (e.g., multiple warnings), which flash didn’t allow me to do. To fix this, I wrote my own messages structure.

Parsing Boarding Pass Dates in Ruby

January 16, 2017September 24, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ Leave a comment

Boarding pass barcodes contain data that’s useful for automatically filling in flight data, but their dates are particularly difficult to parse.

Counting Visits to Airports: The Significance of Trip Sections

February 25, 2016August 25, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ 2 Comments

Why did I build my own flight log instead of using an existing one? One big contributor was that existing flight logs all seemed to double-count layovers.

Flight Log Version 2.0: Flight Historian

January 31, 2016September 20, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ 1 Comment

I’ve relaunched my flight log as its own separate site, and it’s now known as Flight Historian.

Creating a Regular Expression for US Tail Numbers

September 4, 2015September 24, 2020 ~ Paul Bogard ~ 1 Comment

Each country has its own assigned format for tail numbers, so it's possible to look at each tail number and determine what country it’s from. I wanted to create a regular expression to recognize US tail numbers.
